  • RAM Preview problem

    Posted by Michael Mohr on October 18, 2010 at 9:33 pm

    I’m having a problem using RAM preview. I’ve got CS4 and a Matrox RTX2. I’m running 64 bit Vista Business. I’ve got a composition imported from Premiere. On a number of clips I’m using Keylight to key the footage over a .psd. I’m working in HDV. When I use the RAM preview, it will play the first second or two correctly, then the footage turns into color bars with the file name in the corner. Why is it doing this and is there anyway to have it stop doing this.

    Dave,

    Thanks for the information. I ended up using AME to recode the footage (as an MPEG2 believe it or not) and it worked just fine.

    I figured as much but I didn’t have much time to try and figure out what other codec to use. I’ve done very little in HDV and this was the first time I needed to really use AE for video compositing. Most of the time it’s been motion graphics. It didn’t turn out bad though and it got converted to SD widescreen in the end. Now I just have to figure out which codec to use for future productions and how to manipulate the settings (at least until I get CS5)
